Check all the rubber hoses on the fuel line from the fuel pump to the trunk.
I suspect a loose or dry rotted hose allowing air to enter the system. Easier to suck air than it is to suck fuel. You may not even see traces of fuel leakage since it is under vacuum.
otherwise I would check the pickup sock in the tank.

Here's a novel idea, let's not throw a bunch of parts at the car hoping it will fix the problem and instead spend a little time diagnosing it first.
Life was a little easier when I was just a wrench.

Since the gauge is in the engine compartment, it may read lower the hotter it gets, especially if it is liquid filled. Try mounting the gauge temporarily outside the engine compartment and see if the reading still drops.
